I quilt because I am a quiltaholic, seriously. But I also enjoy the journey and the destination when I take my donation quilts to Project Linus. What a blessing. I also enjoy sharing my quilt tops with other board members who do charity work. I love seeing how they finish them out. Redgarnet222 does awesome work with the embroider squares I send her. So glad you are enjoying the journey now. I am a hand quilter too and it is os rewarding. *H*U*G*S*
